Given on July 5, 1852, at an event commemorating the signing of the Declaration of Independence, Douglass used the opportunity to point out the current state of injustice. Participants will read excerpts of Douglass’ speech out loud. Then explore and discuss Douglass’ views on the nation’s founders and how blacks at the time did not see it as a day worthy of celebration.
Registration Deadline: July 3, by 5 p.m.
